"When a Mom Cries"
(A raw ballad about deep, unseen pain
Lyrics By Gerald Logan)
(Verse 1)
When a mom cries, it don’t sound loud
It’s a whisper in the dark when no one’s around
She don’t fall apart where her children can see
She saves her breakdowns for when she’s on her knees
(Verse 2)
She’s got a smile stitched on with threadbare hope
But behind closed doors, she can barely cope
Sleepless nights, praying hands, silent screams
Drowning in the weight of shattered dreams
(Chorus)
When a mom cries, something sacred breaks
The world don’t shake, but it should for her sake
She’s the backbone, the fire, the soul, the glue
But no one sees when she’s bleeding through
She gave her all, now she’s hollow inside
When a mom cries... part of heaven dies
(Verse 3)
Maybe she lost a child, or lost herself
Maybe love turned cold and she blamed herself
Maybe she's fighting battles no one can see
Still tucking in kids while she quietly bleeds
(Bridge)
Her tears don’t fall like thunder or rain
They fall in silence... pure, aching pain
And she still makes breakfast with red in her eyes
Still tells bedtime stories while she slowly dies
(Final Chorus)
When a mom cries, it’s a grief so deep
The kind that buries itself and never sleeps
Don’t say she’s strong just 'cause she survives
She’s dying inside, just trying to stay alive
She carries a world that no one defines
And when a mom cries… the whole world should cry
(Outro)
So if you see her smile when her soul is torn
Hold her close like you never did before
'Cause when a mom cries…
She don’t just cry…
She mourns.
